Wake Me Up

Sheep are so cute!

I need to wake up.

I’ve been walking around in a haze, lost and feeling confused.

At last minute, I decided to change what this blog was going to be about because I wanted to make sure and include this cute little article that helped get me going again.

That’s somewhat of my line of thinking tonight as I stood in my local bookstore with a room full of eyes turned on me while the guest speaker of the evening waited expectantly for an answer to a question she’d just asked me.

“Are you a writer?”

In fact, she had returned my question with a question. I didn’t think it was a question that warranted suspicion as to my profession.

"What time of the day do you find most productive for writing?”
